I used to get a sale every 2 to 3 days using the CafePress affiliate program from CJ but since August 8th - nothing. All the other affiliate programs I'm registered with are doing great. The CafePress clicks are registering but no sales in 40+ days is kind of wierd. I was wondering if anyone else was having problems with the sales through the product feed? The only difference I noticed are that click are now been directed to CP stores. Anyone?
The CP affiliate program is working fine for me, Im also in touch with quite a few people that use it and no one has mentioned a problem. Maybe the links to the shop instead of the marketplace aren't converting for you, there should be a way to link to the marketplace version instead. They've recently updated the marketplace and its looking good and should convert better.
I'm going to try that it looks like rewriting the URL to go to the cafepress marketplace is easy - so I'm giving it a try. Don't know whetther it is legal tho.
Yes, its legal, just a matter of preference. You might want to check out the free CP html page builder at http://www.blogacow.com Click the link at the top of the page to show all the options available.
Looks like everything is hunky-dory again. Made the changes Thurday night and got two sales on Sunday. One thing, I did notice that I was missing the end apostrophe on my href link - but that didn't stop clicks from been counted - so I dont think it would have affected sales been registered. The only other thing I could think of was a massive sale I had in August $900+ all in one go - I have some big sales in Nov, Dec, Jan in the $100 to $300 but that was by far the biggest - so I thought may be there was some kind of fraud going on there but I was paid my commission. Anyway after a 50 day drought things seem to be back to normal - hope it keeps up.
Glad to hear its working, I agree with you that if it was recording clicks it would also record sales. Now Christmas is coming so sales should keep going up until then if all goes well
